I look at your business the way a guest does first. Then we work together to improve what matters most

Practical, hands-on support for restaurant, café & hotel owners who want their business running the way they always imagined it. Seventeen years on the floor taught me that. No conference table ever could. 

A Glimpse Into THA

Just a couple of minutes. Watch it over coffee, on your lunch break or let’s be honest, at 3am when everyone else is asleep and you’re still thinking about the business.

Different business, same reason. Something isn’t working, and they know it. They want an honest opinion before it costs them guests, staff or profit 

Restaurants

From busy independents to multi-site groups, I sort service consistency, kitchen-to-floor handoffs and team culture, from the ground up. 

Cafés

Fast-paced, high-footfall operations where every order matters. Standards and speed working together, not against each other. 

Hotels & Hospitality Groups

Housekeeping, front desk, food and beverage, all handing the guest experience to each other, dozens of times a day. It only works if every handover lands right. 

Genuine Hospitality Experience, Not a Consultancy Playbook

I didn’t start in a boardroom. I started on the floor, in Ireland, in busy venues on a Friday night when everything that could go wrong did. Difficult services, long shifts, teams on their best days and their worst, long before I ever called myself an advisor.

Along the way, I picked up some awards. I’m grateful for every one of them. But what stayed with me was simpler than any trophy: the businesses that get hospitality right look after their people first & their guest experience second, in that order, every single day. Everything else follows.

‘I don’t bring a framework to your business; I bring a practised eye, an honest conversation and enough experience to know what’s actually worth fixing first’

THA is built on one thing: 17+ years of hands-on hospitality leadership in Ireland, learned in real services, not seminars. No generic playbooks, no corporate jargon, just a straightforward way of looking at your business and putting right what matters most.
